A new twist on an old event

[Verenti]

I was digging through the data of the demo, and look what I found!

Comet Sighted

A Comet was sighted in the sky, some believe that this portends fell times ahead. Others believe that they are in fact pixie faries floating in the sky. There are also those who believe that this comet is most probably a gaint ball of ice floating through the sky and the long tail is created due to the energy of the sun. The arguements amoungst the three equally viable theories is stimulating the pursuit of knowledge in our country.

Thank God we live in such enlighted times

Hehe. Nice
I hated that bastard event in EU3.

:d

 

[Minchandre]

Even if this game wasn't so awesome, I would buy it just for that. Thank God indeed.

 

[ulrichomega]

I love PI for stuff like this.

 

[Autonomous]

Yup, got that event. Made me giggle.

 

[Sovetskysoyuz]

But there's only one option! We should have a choice in how to respond to this event.

 

[ulrichomega]

Yeah, PI doesn't give us enoughs options.

 

[Vaximillian]

What're the effects?

 

[King]

a little research of course

 

[Al. I. Cuza]

Made me laugh

Someone should add this event to HoI3 so it can become universal.

Comet sighted
-praise be God, it is an sign of victory (+unity)
-hey, this reminds me of something... (+rocket theoretical)
-huh, comet so low? (V2 strikes random province)

Heheh, makes me think of the creationism 'debate' for some reason.

The thing that made "Comet Sighted" awesome is that every option it has gives the same effect!

Oh, right... I just thought it is special because I can remember it being in CK, EU3 and now V2. I don't remember the effects though

 

[gibbel]

In EU3 the option were:
1. Ignore the peasant rabble! (-1 stability)
2. It's an omen! (-1 stability)
3. The end is nigh! (-1 stability)

So basically you could only hate that event because you get a stability hit no matter which of the three choices you made.

EU2 had the same event with two choices. People complained, so Paradox game them third choice.

IIRC it was 1 option in eu2
2 options in eu3
3 options in eu3 + HTTT
